~ one of the firft denizens of Europe in this family. Has been 
confounded with the GLapiotus augufius of Taunserc. Is 
clofely allied to a fpecies that we have never yet met with,in 
any colle&tion, though cultivated by Mirrer, viz. the GrA- 
pious involutus of Dz La Rocug, and figured by Mixer, 
tab. 236. fig. 1—probably no longer exifting in this country. 
The fpecimen from which our drawing was taken flowered in 
unufual perfeétion at Mefirs. Grimwoop and:Wvyxes, Ken- | 
fington, in the month of June. Propagates with the greateft | 
facility both by feed and offsets, and is one of the commoneft, 
though feldom {een to flower fo perfeétly as the prefent fpecimen, 
except from recently imported bulbs. ’ G. |
